Mounted the thiccc setup finally. 18x10.5 +38 PF01's and 275/35r18 NT01's

 

I'm looking to do 275-285/35 MPS4S soon since my tires are pretty much shot. 18x10 +38 RPF1s here. I still need to do some work in the front fender (get that big *** metal tab hammered in or cut off) and I guess relocated the bumper bolt in the back. Haven't really had any issues with the 265s that are on there now but definitely want wider.

 

If you got 285, it's needs to be a 285/30, not a 35. And 285/30 is actually a bit easier to fit than the 275/35 due to it being shorter.

 

So wide! Front sticking out a lot there. No scrubbing on full lock turns?

 

You're gonna loves it. The grip is really, really, really good.

 

Needs 5mm more spacer to no hit the trans. With the 20mm that in it now it doesn't poke as the pic makes it look. But with more spacer I'm gonna do the Evo Dave fender mod, it will need it.

 

Good to know.

EDIT: MPS4S not available in that size. ****.

 

The continental extreme contact sport is. Which is another excellent tire.

 

Had my STM Forward Facing Manifold, O2 Housing, Wastegate Dump Tube, and Turbine Housing ceramic coated. Turned out awesome!

 

Drove it to work for the first time in about 7 months. Last time it came to work with me it spun a rod bearing

 

Got rid of the stock radiator fan and installed a Spal fan in its place.

 

That looks mean as hell. Do like.

 

Changed oil in my car - oil change #46. When I got under I found my undercover was pretty well smashed in. I had high centered on a gravel pile left by a snowplow in a parking lot. So, I had to remove the undercover to pound it flat.

As I looked up at the engine bay there was not a drop of oil or any wetness anywhere. How can this be on a 17 year old car? My car sees winter so I started looking further for any signs of rust. There was a little bit where I always place my car stands. Sprayed that down with rust proofing. Other than that the underside of the car is rust free. Crazy amazing old car.

 

Finally got my Manley Pistons that I ordered on the 4th of February from STM in and got everything to machine shop for my new build. Also received my Rexpeed Carbon fiber jdm rear bumper extensions.

 

Drove it
